If you want an intelligent analysis of the forces that have created the GamerGate “movement” as well as an explanation of the critical thinking tools used to perform that analysis, this video is the one you’ve been looking for.

The opening line, “GamerGate’s base assumptions create a world view that justifies harassment and terrorism.” Best … explanation … ever.
